the peach fuzzed children

each new set of peach
fuzzed
children that comes along 
believes
that are the ones
that are woke.
they invented
philosophy, spirituality.
they know what it's in every book
without reading one.
despite having two ears
they listen less than
they talk.
they've invented sex
and poetry.
music and art. they have yet
to learn what came
before them.
what made their lives
possible. there is no passing
of the torch.
just a new one lit as the old
burns out
and smokes.
